Lyrics

When I saw you standing thereI about fell off my chairWhen you moved your mouth to speakI felt the blood go to my feet

Now it took time for me to knowWhat you tried so not to showSomething in my soul just criedI see the want in your blue eyes

Baby, I'd love you to want meThe way that I want you, the way that it should beBaby, you'd love me to want youThe way that I want to if you'd only let it be

You told yourself years agoYou'd never let your feelings showThe obligation that you madeFor the title that they gave

Baby, I'd love you to want meThe way that I want you, the way that it should beBaby, you'd love me to want youThe way that I want to if you'd only let it be

Now it took time for me to knowWhat you tried so not to showBut something in my soul just criedI see the want in your blue eyes

Baby, I'd love you to want meThe way that I want you, the way that it should beBaby, you'd love me to want youThe way that I want to if you'd only let it be, oh

Baby, I'd love you to want meThe way that I want you, the way that it should beBaby, you'd love me to want youThe way that I want to if you'd only let it be

This song was written by British musician Ian Hunter When I came to know this song from
singer Barry Manilow for his sixth studio album, One Voice, Felt in love with it and often sing it every now and then. The lyrics written here is also telling the story my relationship with my late beloved father too. When I was in Berlin, Germany, I used to called home and he would pass the phone to my late beloved mommy. Now both of them finally had departed from this Planet Earth and the lyrics expresses as follows ...

We're two ships that pass in the nightWe both smile and we say it's alrightWe're still here, it's just that we're out of sightLike those ships that pass in the night

We walked to the seaJust my father and meAnd the dogs played around on the sandWinter cold cut the airHangin' still everywhereDressed in gray, did he say hold my handI said, love's easier when it's far awayWe sat and watched the distant lightWe're two ships that pass in the nightWe both smile and we say it's alrightWe're still here, it's just that we're out of sightLike those ships that pass in the nightThere's a boat on the lineWhere the sea meets the skyThere's another that rides far behindAnd it seems you and IAre like strangers, a wide ways apartAs we drift on through timeHe said, it's harder now, we're far awayWe only read you when you writeWe're two ships that pass in the nightAnd we smile when we say it's alrightWe're still here, it's just that we're out of sightLike those ships that pass in the nightWe're just ships that pass in the nightAnd we smile when we say it's alrightWe're still here, it's just that we're out of sightLike those ships that pass in the night

During my teenage period, I used to sing this song in the bathroom with a tape recorder on. I sung alone with Lionel Richie and Diana Ross. I did well at that time as I did my singing almost every night without fail. I do love singing and still singing till today.

Ross and Richie recorded the song for Motown, and it was used as the theme for the Franco Zeffirelli's film adaptation of Scott Spencer's novel Endless Love. Produced by Richie and arranged by Gene Page, it was released as a single from the film's soundtrack in 1981. While the film Endless Love was a modest box-office success, the song became the second biggest-selling single of the year (first was "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes) in the U.S. and reached number 1 on the Hot 100, where it stayed for nine weeks from August 15 to October 10, 1981. It also topped the Billboard R&B chart and the Adult Contemporary chart, and reached number 7 in the UK.

The soulful composition became the biggest-selling single of Ross'
career, and her 18th and final career number-one single (including her
work with The Supremes).
It also was Richie's highest charting single, and the first of several
hits for Richie during the 1980s. Ross recorded a solo version of the
song for her first RCA Records album, Why Do Fools Fall in Love, the duet version being her last hit on Motown. The song was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song for Richie, and was the second song with which Ross was involved that was nominated for an Oscar. It also won a 1982 American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock Single.

Lyrics

My loveThere's only you in my lifeThe only thing that's bright

My first loveYou're every breath that I takeYou're every step I make

And I, I want to shareAll my love with youNo one else will do

And your eyes (your eyes, your eyes)They tell me how much you careOoh yes, you will always beMy endless love

Two heartsTwo hearts that beat as oneOur lives have just begun

Forever (ooh)I'll hold you close in my armsI can't resist your charms

And love (oh, love)I'll be a fool for you, I'm sureYou know I don't mindOh, you know I don't mind

Because youYou mean the world to me, ohI know, I knowI've found in youMy endless love

Boom, boomBoom, boom, boom, boom, booomBoom, boom, boom, boom, boom

Ooh, and love, oh, loveI'll be that fool for you, I'm sureYou know I don't mindOh you know I don't mind

And, yesYou'll be the only one'Cause no one can denyThis love I have inside

Finally this year 2017, George Michael had his last Christmas and he did really gave his heart to all of us whom still kicking asses on this Planet Earth. The SHOCKING sad news came to us on Christmas Day which came to us as HUGE SURPRISES. We have lost one of the most talented Musical Artist and charitable human beings. I will continue sing his songs and might be singing more as the time goes by. RIP and will stay in our heart always. Gone but NEVER be forgotten till end of our breath ...

This was the
first British #1 hit that featured an artist writing, singing,
arranging, producing, and playing all the instruments on the song.

Michael
said during the BBC One special for his concert at The Palais Garnier
in 2014 about this tune, "I think you can tell that 'A Different Corner'
is genuinely the sound of a man who's heart's been broken. I was 19 and
the best critique I ever heard of that song was from a friend of mine
who said, 'It's beautiful, pathetic, but beautiful.'"

This
strong, reflective, mature ballad, awash with slowly pulsating
keyboards, is totally different from the poppy sounds of Wham! At the
time of its release in April 1986, George Michael was still part of the
duo, but a few months later he and Andrew Ridgeley decided to split.
This announcement was followed by an emotional farewell concert at
Wembley Stadium in London, in front of 72,000 fans.

This was George Michael's first solo release in the US and his second solo release in the UK. (In the UK, "Careless Whisper"
was credited to George Michael, whilst in America it was credited to
Wham!). George Michael was the first solo act in the history of the UK
chart to reach #1 with his first two releases.

"A Different Corner" is a song written and performed by George Michael which was released on Epic Records (Columbia Records in the U.S.) in 1986.At the time of its release in April 1986, Michael was still a member of pop duo Wham! (the song is included on Wham!'s album Music from the Edge of Heaven only released in Japan and North America as well as their compilation album The Final released worldwide), though he and partner Andrew Ridgeley had announced that they would split in the summer after a farewell single, album and concert. Michael had already enjoyed a solo #1 in the UK Singles Chart in 1984 with "Careless Whisper", which was credited as Wham! featuring George Michael in the US.After radio DJ Simon Bates first aired A Different Corner on Radio 1, he rated the song so highly that he immediately played it again from the beginning. Michael went back to the top of the UK chart with "A Different Corner", he became the first solo act in the history of the UK chart to reach #1 with his first two releases, although he was hardly an unknown or new act on either occasion due to his previous hits with Wham!. The song was also credited with being the second #1 (after "I Just Called to Say I Love You" by Stevie Wonder) which was written, sung, played, arranged, and produced by the same person.[citation needed] The song reached #7 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, becoming the first single credited solely to Michael to become an American top-ten hit.The song was also remixed for his compilation Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael. This version omitted the guitar and the chorus from Andrew Ridgeley.

On the BOXING DAY, came another sad day for all of us. First was the Tsunami which I did not related to me at all. This is one of the day I was a bit lost which was sadden the departed away from us so soon. George Michael, one of the very rare MOST talented Musical Artist of our life time, gone away so soon and it was really SHOCKed the whole world. I was posting his biography just 15 hours before I got the very miserable news. It was a huge lost for all of us who love George Michael dearly and in fact I wanted to post his biography from wikipedia a day earlier which I had delayed it 24 hours due to my busy schedule on Christmas Day. I had a strong urge to share his bio-graphy, it seems something telling me something which I unable comprehend at that time and I also had memorized the day he was born. He was born on Jun 25th and passed away on the same day, Dec 25th. This morning 7am I got the sadden news and was thinking another FAKE news again. Right after I got the news from reliably source, Mirror website, I was shaken by the death of our beloved Musical Artist. RIP and will be always stay in our heart. Time to sing more of his songs againand this Christmas really the last Christmas for him and he did really gave his heart to us after all. May the Lord be with him always.

Careless Whisper" is a 1984 single by George Michael (Sometimes credited to "Wham! featuring George Michael" in Japan, Canada and the United States), released by Epic Records in the United Kingdom, Japan, and other countries; and by Columbia Records
in North America. The song was George Michael's first solo single
although he was still performing in Wham! at the time (the song is
included on Wham!'s album Make It Big).
The song features a prominent saxophone riff, and has been covered by a
number of artists since its first release. It was released as a single
and became a huge commercial success on both sides of the Atlantic and
on both sides of the Pacific. It reached number one in nearly 25
countries, selling about six million copies worldwide.[1]

Unlike most of the other Wham! singles (except "Wham Rap!" and "Club Tropicana"), it was co-written by Andrew Ridgeley, the other member of the duo. The two had written it together as developing artists three years earlier in Watford, England.[2]

The song went through at least two rounds of production. The first was during a trip Michael made to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where he went to work with producer Jerry Wexler at FAME Studios.
Michael was unhappy with the version that was originally produced and
decided to re-record and produce the song himself, this time coming up
with the version that was finally released. The version Wexler produced
did, was released later in the year, as a (4:41) B-side "Special
Version" on 12" in the UK and Japan.

The record label Innervision were going to put out the Jerry Wexler version of Careless Whisper after the Club Fantastic Megamix as far back as 1983. Dick Leahy stated in George Michael's autobiography[3]
that while he couldn't stop the release of the Club Fantastic Megamix,
he could stop the release of this single on the basis that as a publisher they "have the right to grant the first license of the recording of a tune of which he controls the copyright".[3]
He couldn't do anything about the Club Fantastic Megamix because it was
already released material. He said: "We knew how big that song could be
so it was necessary to upset a few people to stop it."[3]

The officially released single, a mid-tempo sentimental ballad with a saxophone solo by Steve Gregory, was issued in August 1984, entering the UK singles chart at number 12. Within two weeks, it was at number one, ending a nine-week run at the top for "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
It stayed at number one for three weeks, going on to become the fifth
best-selling single of 1984 in the United Kingdom; it was outsold only
by the two Frankie Goes to Hollywood tracks "Two Tribes" and "Relax," Stevie Wonder with "I Just Called to Say I Love You," and Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas." The song also topped the charts in 25 other countries, including the Billboard Hot 100
in the United States in February 1985 under the credit "Wham! featuring
George Michael." Spending three weeks at the top in America, the song
was later named Billboard's number-one song of 1985.

On the subject of his personal opinion of the song, Michael said in
1991 that it "was not an integral part of my emotional development"[4]
which he found sad because of the song meaning so much to so many
people. He went on to say: "It disappoints me that you can write a lyric
very flippantly—and not a particularly good lyric—and it can mean so
much to so many people. That's disillusioning for a writer."[4]

Lyrics from lyrics.wikia.comTime can never mendThe careless whispers of a good friendTo the heart and mindIgnorance is kindThere's no comfort in the truthPain is the hole you find

Should have known better, yeahOh, oh

I feel so unsureAs I take your hand and lead you to the dance floorAs the music diesSomething in your eyesCalls to mind a silver screen and all it's sad goodbyes

I'm never gonna dance againGuilty feet have got no rhythmThough it's easy to pretendI know you're not a fool

I should have known better than to cheat a friendAnd waste a chance that I'd been givenSo I'm never gonna dance againThe way I danced with you, oh

Time can never mendThe careless whispers of a good friendTo the heart and mindIgnorance is kindThere's no comfort in the truthPain is the hole you find

I'm never gonna dance againGuilty feet have got no rhythmThough it's easy to pretendI know you're not a fool

I should have known better than to cheat a friend(Should have known better, yeah)And waste a chance that I'd been givenSo I'm never gonna dance againThe way I danced with you, ooh

Never without your love

Tonight the music seems so loudI wish that we could lose this crowdMaybe it's better this wayWe'd hurt each other with the things we want to say

We could have been so good togetherWe could have lived this dance foreverBut now who's gonna dance with me?Please stay

And I'm never gonna dance againGuilty feet have got no rhythmThough it's easy to pretendI know you're not a fool

I should have known better than to cheat a friendAnd waste a chance that I'd been givenSo I'm never gonna dance againThe way I danced with you, oh

(Now that you're gone) Now that you're gone(Now that you're gone) Was what I did so wrong, so wrongThat you had to leave me alone?
